A. J. Smith. and party have returned
from protracted hunting trip in the
Devils Lake country. They report an
excellent time and much success. Supt.
Smith, of the Louisville & Nashville road,
expected to leave yesterday for below,
where an unexpected strike of switchmen
imperatively demanded his presence. He
has gained so much health and enjoyed
the northern air so greatly during his
visit that he is 10th to return. Mr.. Smith,
of Hot Springs, also returned greatly
pleased and benefited with his vacation.
Mr.. Cox, the third member of the party,
will remain several weeks.

TROUBLE OVER a COURT HOUSE

Distractions Put in the Way Of the Com

House.
District Attorney Rose returned on the
noon train from Lisbon, where he was
called to represent Plettenberg, Mueller
& Renken, the contractors Of the new
Ransom county court house. before the
county commissioners. In the published
session laws of the last legislature there
appears law which provides that county
commissioners may order the building of
court houses or such other work after
three weeks advertising instead of three
months, as the old law provides. Upon
the basis of this supposd law the commits
sioners advertised and let the contract to
Plettenberg, Mueller & Renken for the
erection of court house. 1t seems that
a number of disruntled citizens want

A Boy Wonder.
Bismarck Tribune.

George S. Feagles, the farmer boy OF
Menoken and son Of the Rev. Mr.. Fea-
giles, is probably the most remarkable
shot in the United States whose fame Is
limited to his own county and almost i'm
mediate friends in that county. Secre-
tary Prouty of the Grand Forks fair may
succeed in bringing the man into notice.
At the suggestion of Secretary McCor-
mick, Prouty has written Feagles for his
terms, and the correspondence will un-
Coubtedly result in Feagles' attendance.
The Tribune can vouch for the young
man and assure the fair managers that
he will show them the most remarkable
shooting with a rifle ever seen in Dako-
ia. Probably, if no accidents occur, his
tricks with his lightning Colt will beat
ANYTHING Carver ever did. He is willing
to shoot with Carver and his friends are
willing to back him in a contest with that
renowned shot. It is believed that he can
make shots that Carver cannot make
Buffalo Bill once admitted that Feagles
could outshoot him, and declined to en-
gage him for his show for that reason.
Adam Forepaugh smiled when the inno-
cent young man called on him and told
him that he could make certain shots
that would at least be entertaining. Mr..
Forepaugh evidently thought the young
ster was lying, and as George had no
convenient frind to identify him, Mr.. Fore
paurh lost a star OF course he can
break three glass balls thrown into the
air at once. He can throw them from a
moving wagon over the prairie and break
them. Carver does the same stand
ing on the ground, but doing it from
He has broken 100 balls straight from a
lumber wagon. He does not say he can
do it every time, but will advertise to hit

Signal Flags Ordered.

The flags for the signal service have
been ordered, and will be here shortly.
Mr.. Il. A. Bill is attending to the matter
and the small amount required to pay
for the fags-SS or S10-should be
promptly given by all who happen to be
solicited. The weather reports are al
ways of interest, and the war department
is unusually generous to send the tele-
graphic indications without cost, as well
as Superintendent Graham to furnish the
pole and man to take charge Of the
flags after once being in position. The
location will probably be ON the Northern
Pacific elevator building, an elevated and
central position.

Milwaukee Officials.

W. Il. Dixon, smiling and fresh as a
new blown rose, inimitable In narrative
and popu ar as ever, came In to see his
friends in jamestown again Yesterday.
Accompanying him is Frank Ross, and
both as passenger men of the Milwaukee,
can make more stir in town in given
time than any two people ON earth. Mr..
Dixon, when the duties of assistant gen.
eral passenger agent permit, relaxes into
ways literary, social, asthetic. grave, gay
or convivial, as only spirits of his rare and
radient kind can do. Always welcome
are these gentlemen.

division Increases Taxation.


Among the reasons urged against the
division of the territory, a correspondent
and taxpayer in neighborlng exchange
refers to the increased burdens OF taxa
ton which musu of necessity follow dl-
vision:
That it will cost more to support two
state governments for the same numper
of people and the protection OF the same
amount of property within the present.
boundaries of Dakota than it would TO
support one similar in efficiency is most
palpable. It would double the expense
of the construction of capitol buildings.
state libraries, and their care, preserVa-
ton and perpetual support.
It would double the expense OF the
executive department proper, ana WIN
it's military establishment added would
very nearly do it, as the officers
under pay for small state will suffice for
a large one.
1t would double the expense OF the SUI
preme court, the most important factor
of the judiciary, while it would slightly
increase the expense of the legislative de-
partment. Ia large states members
are apportioned to larger districts,
their number thus reduced, leaving
a large state 10 more expensive than a
small one.
So that all together the expenses OF
running two state governments for the
aggregate population of Dakota would
cost 50 per cent more than the expense OF
Is government Of one state over the
.,arne people.
This is a verv low estimate of the in
crease of expenditure which must result
from division.
Taxes are always burdensome to the
great mass of producers, who find it diff
cub to obtain tha means of paying even
a moderate ta- ,dt let your taxes be
raised so per cent over what is neces.
sary for the best government, would
it rot raise universal howl of dissat-
isfaetion?

Make Way for Liberty.

An army deserter from Fort Totten was
captured Thursday at Darlington by the
sheriff of Foster county. While the two
were standing near the depot, the buck
soldier made dash for the freight train
just pulling out of the station, and sue
ceeded in getting away from tie officer,
and being carried toward this city at a
lively rate. A reward Of $50 is offered
for the fugitive's return. and Conductor
Van Dusen, of the pas ger train, has a
description of the man. He probably got
into town and is making tracks for other
localities quite rapidly ere this.

Buried in the Ruins.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 14.-Three large
sheds at the corner of Howard avenue
and Euphrosine streets, fell, burying a
number Of people, killing two outright

which were erected for the protection of

the Illinois Central railroad, which
granted permission to the people of the

A large crowd was soon engaged, when,
without warning the sheds fell over bury
